Yeah, the question has been largely changed to "when does personhood begin?" in the context of abortion matters.
But, it's still depends a lot on scientists' varying opinions, and people's religious and moral and philosophical beliefs...
There isn't one answer to either question that's widely accepted as "right", in my observations and experiences.
For me, life begins when the embryo is safe within the womb. Personhood begins outside the womb.
